the hi, i'm shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of gentlemen to up with you. one need to have you have a one, the front porch and the unexpected side to side. almost if you have to imagine that it really hits like a bomb. i'm just talking about paintings like a bon. we're talking about cost, but obviously donation painters who still has an influence on the visual aesthetics of today. we'll examine his paintings of magical beauty and dark melancholy. the painter of this guy, the c solitude, silence. we'll also meet people in whom his paintings lived on and we'll find out why he depicted everyone from behind cost but dotted sweet nation revealed the

there are plenty of good reasons to take a closer look at the painter in his $250.00 of anniversary year. so here are 10 of his most famous paintings, starting with a legendary back the the magnum opus trans. is that what we see here? hiker has just climbed a high peak taking the last difficult step. now he rests his hair, blonde like c. disease is blown by the wind. he looks into the distance. will it be done? soon? fog is gathering the mountain landscape, lies below him. the world is at his feet. or perhaps not

a visit to the landscape, insects and switzerland that inspired the painting is sobering. it's clear that for each of these figures wander through fantasy landscapes composed from different places. the goal is to quote, for the great job to free jewish, is that the color she's not deceived as a colorado, but that's an image is created. it's like a great utopia of a picture goals or to p. i know speed. the utopia of a picture, hardly anyone knows freak rich as well as art historian hugginsville class. he's been studying the fleet the phenomenon for several decades now. and he has his own explanation for the current state police mania. definitely extend his paintings or something incredibly fast. the nice thing on, if you look closely, you see the subtlety with which he constructs his pictorial wells lie the way he paints on a small scale, has a great presence and not the same time. the space is also open. you have these

$1.00 to $40.00, stretched out skies, which are sometimes just color and have an incredible intensity. you know how these kind of low please enter the tape is it's the sky overdressed. and at dusk, these are precisely the moments basically she was looking for their moments in which something passes and something new emerges. skies of transition. twilight, the changing moment. impossible to capture in words, the sky in nature as a space for the soul. a new way of seeing which politically harold's concepts which have free duration, fundamentally changed of use, including a few of the landscape. we can no longer see a sunset without thinking of free duration, that are to think this

is how it all begins. this alter is not in a church, but in addressed in museum. a rocky mountain peak, overgrown with fruit trees. crucifix entwined with ivy, a figure of christ turned away from us. rays of sunlight against the pink, glowing, cloudy sky. the frame was designed by so easily himself. a mind, ears of corn, the eye of god. symbols of christianity, angels, chrome, the work of art. this is free for the 1st oil painting debut and to break with the traditional rules of art, a new beginning. so i think this is what was it made him famous in one sale swoop data suddenly christmas 18 o 8. there is this painting in his studio and you have to imagine it really did

like a volume talk a little angry. so i have, i came to bump up dressed and had never seen anything like it when he painted this picture fleet, which was 32 years old and had been living in the eastern german city for 10 years . at that time dressed and was an art metropolis and sleeping. this was a central figure. but one who divided opinion is on a freight branch was controversial. stop the west fans that collected his paintings are kind of identified with these words. and then with those who said, it's all monotonous, it's very melancholy. i mean, i call list please. they spend 30 more years of his life and dressed and he married, had children, and died in poverty, in 1840 his paintings. donald had fallen out of favor. realism won out over his romanticism. he was condemned to oblivion

a sleeper they lived through troubled times. the french revolution had just failed . the old political order was turned upside down. napoleon conquered europe and occupied dressed in saxony, in $1813.00 calls for democracy and freedom grew louder and shape sweep lease, thinking the color, spit out. it was a dr. items. 3 drinks and paintings are characterized on the one hand by the deep religious nature. and on the other hand, they are completely tied to the political situation. it was a time of his grades, political upheaval, heights that caused these challenges for the people of his time in china type for how those fordable restorative basically was born on september 5th, 1774, to a strict protestant family,

in 5 spots on the baltic sea he began to draw. this was how he saw himself in 18 o 2 at the age of 28. as a young man full of yearning. his drawings and paintings are characterized by memories of the sea and the coast of his childhood. but the water can also be threatening. a huge ice flow is pile up to form apparent at the sky is less than the turtle. ice shimmers blueish and brown. we are facing a boundless polar landscape. mighty in human, sublime, threatening only at 2nd glance, do we recognize the whole of a ship shattered by slabs of ice last forever. the 1st expeditions to the north pole took place during sleep least lifetime and failed. what does the painting say more than that? the motif may have its roots in a childhood event. in 1787,

please release brother drowned before his very eyes. he died while trying to save costs by davi who had fallen into the ice. a lifelong trauma for the artist or so the legend goes. skate on dimensions here. it's about our human existence within the cosmos. you could also call it within the divide that which humans cannot grasp . and it's please hold this awareness. that's what set them apart, that this awareness that there's something beyond something the human cannot grasp . that's my mission of some kind of and that is exactly what german romanticism is all about. translation, it's most important, a representative describes what cannot be put into words and his images of nature. nature as an image of the divine and majestic

white peak reaches into the sky, recognizable as the that's mine in southern germany, perhaps one of the most beautiful alpine peaks. it's around mid day and the sun reflects off the snow and almost shadow this landscape. devoid of people, the image moves from deep dark tones up to glistening white. we already know that the landscape here is also in utopia, in reality, the mountains in the foreground, or hundreds of kilometers to the north. the painter had never seen the hotspot or the alps. he again created a fantasy landscape this time from the foot of the mountain. here in the original location, we meet up with a landscape photographer acutely unsure and backup costs that obviously place has been his source of inspiration for years. he appreciates the painter's precise feeling for atmosphere and for the magical moments of nature, the particulars from the b. i feel free dress mountains,

including this apparent mid shape of the mountains, which is very pronounced in the vaults, manticore, a connection between the fleet and the divine good. for me, these are free duration. by moses, i'm reflecting the full set fine free duration. the today carry on sure, and bag of fines, pre police moments in the present. this is how he sees the box man. and this is how caused by dobby safely sought another popular feature, which motif was the one in cobb photographed today. and painted 200 years ago. fried reach and shown back out both have a feeling for the vulnerability of creation. demetrius lawns, landscapes is not just in motion, not just few to follow up, and it tells me something. when i look down here today, i see how roshan isn't changing the landscape. i can see at the beginning of

february that the snow cover on the mountains is very low. i see the effects of climate change. these are things that can be read from the pictures of things within that. obviously some con, carry on. sure. and that is a child. this is time just like us. but obviously they both are faced with on certain times and which old orders are crumbling and both confront the challenges of these times in their art. but caused by david situation can also be full of the joys of life. pointed child cliffs rise from the waves. white against blue, a steep coast line. the horizon is shaded by kind of b of leaves. the baltic sea in summer, around mid day, or to sail boats in the distance. there's a feeling of lightness,

almost as if we were looking through a window at the sea. a man gazes thoughtfully into the distance. but what is the other man doing? crawling on the ground, had his glasses falling off? or is he overcome by fear of the steep drop? a woman points to something below him. could she be fleece wife, catalina, their honeymoon was spent here and lugen. the painting was created immediately afterwards. faithfully tells a small, very private story here and creates an allegory of love, loyalty and safe, the lonely man by the sea. some suspect it is clearly himself tiny in the vastness of space. his long monks road is the color of the turning water. gold circle above him, clouds pile up on the horizon. is it dawn? or is the thunder storm brewing?

gloomy, turbulent water, white spray on the waves. his face is a bright spot, drawing our attention and almost timeless space. the man remains calm, standing as if frozen, as if he controlled the elements a radically emptied picture, probably played at least most radical. the monk by the sea is at home in berlin in the item, not to godaddy. and it was here that the forgotten pains you fleece was rediscovered in 19 o 6 germany, god, re acquainted with this painter in a spectacular exhibition of the day. i wanted to start this once in a lifetime exhibition for the police was a sensation. have people really celebrated, adams who was hired the monk by the sea has remained an icon of modernism. the

treasures of the knots, an identity include another picture that the police painted in the same period. these have, these are similar colors. these move expressed through the light that actually does contain wonderfully often, and that's often the light of transition stem of twilight. when and then it does. as we know, we have an incredible color spectrum like much more color than it mid day. i will turn me text tide early evening does calls an oak forest in winter without leaves? some trees seem dead. the moon has already risen half ruined gothic chapel. but what is really happening here? monks move almost silently. it seems towards the portal. carrying a coffin,

they are carrying one of their own to the grave. funeral procession cemetery. we are witnessing a funeral beneath the stillness of the picture drama. on the horizon, a bright glow. the sun sitting. what prevails? death for help in the center of the picture is a tiny little bird splice. it is still a mystery. he doesn't tell any complete story because we as visitors as an audience, can each find the answers for ourselves. and on to the left, us and you'd be to and but this painting has not always stood before the viewer and such a radiant light. the painting has been undergoing restoration for 3 years now. christine emeryville from the berlin. not tonight, i got a he is responsible for restoring it to its former glory. the reason for the poor state of

preservation is, of course, that frederick was a forgotten office just such a long time. and that's never good for paintings. if nobody knows the artist and then then launch full of met some of them, i'd rather not think about how these moves from a palace to palace were carried out in such a rough and ready manner. so that also play the role speed on the the centimeter by centimeter layer by layer christine and lose it. freeze fleet lease original brushstroke from over painting and 14 layers of varnish and mix interesting discoveries in the process. the design it use it prepared most of his colors, himself, or homes. you know, if i'm 11 does why he was suddenly so driven to kind of steps with the should. that was a huge, the self confident step that on when painting he worked with way 15 layers of paint,

which is almost a selling point of his maxima, you can tell he's interested in the atmospheric the sky. the franklin says, shields book tickets. the infra red images also reveal sleeping face under the surface drawings, especially spectacular in the month by the sea. an audition, even in the sixty's, people suspected that there was something else under the monk by the scene, the assembly ships, she said, and then see if you can see fantastically detailed sailing ships. every rope and every plank is recognizable akin ball. i'm an anchor hanging over the side of the ship because i hang that's a total of 3 ships that free to reach the crew. and then did not paint 5 minutes. i'm going to talk with the model the she was goof, and so he radically emptied this composition. something he never did again, maybe the most of the, of the in contrast to the month by the sea.

this is a rather unknown work by sea face. yet a significant one, paying testimony to a lifelong friendship. 3 men at a railing, as always shone from behind. they are russian poets. one of them is law, cds, you kosky, a friend and patron, a free police throughout his life. this picture represents a special story. a fleet of his closeness to russia and of russia's great love for him, the poet and statesmen, cds, you kosky, is responsible for infecting russia, with an ongoing, slightly fever. along with these 2, the futures are nicholas the 1st and his wife, alexandra, who was princess charlotte of prussia before her marriage. they travelled to

dresden and purchased this painting includes at least workshop on the sailing boat . perhaps charlotte saw herself in, at the ball the charlotte was the system of a 100. and what do you crush out when a fried used 1st collectors, which means that she was very familiar with his work in and she took her love of his what with her to st. petersburg. it's not possible. charlotte's love for a customer, david street was not only celebrated at course, but took hold of all russian society. the consequences are still visible today. the hermitage in saint petersburg. now house is the largest and most important fleet which collection outside germany. as to something seem familiar here in this painting, men again turned towards each other, demonstrating closeness. they contemplate nature immersed in it. a crescent moon is

in the sky. the small picture is the epitome of german romanticism. and it's precisely this painting that will soon play a role of great significance. good . it is safe to drop hounds to an exhibition in 2025. the metropolitan museum of art in new york will be hosting the 1st major customer adobe police exhibition in the us. there's never been a comprehensive exhibition of his work here in the us. and we thought it was, it was time to really give our audience is a chance to, to get to explore his work in depth in the painter they recognize the beginning of a new relationship. so the language of our exhibition is

how we understand our relationship with nature. um and we want to encourage our audiences to, to think about the new visual language that he is creating. to express this new experience of nature, nature suddenly becomes central to our identity as to who we are. it becomes a place for spiritual and philosophical and emotional discovery for the curator sees that he is the for father of an ecological view of nature. the renaissance of this artist in the usa is a milestone for a late work by straight ration. but what is it exactly a cosmic sky? the curvature of yours. in fact, the picture shows a marshy landscape on the outskirts of dressed in

a flooded area with islands of sand and mud. dark groups of trees alternate with light meadows. in the background, a barge sales on the elder entering at life and the deserted landscape. the day is fading, the summer is slowly coming to an end pretty easily captures this fleeting moment the. this painting still fascinates. today. romanticism in art is in life. the ease of that make sense. a made now is a student address does university of fine arts. she's currently preparing for an exhibition. in 2023, she received the cusp of diabetes prize. the jury chose her because they believe

her work falls in the tradition of the great romantic painter. in an example of that word, a transparent curtain blows gently in the wind, softening the boundary between inside and out the familiar and a foreign a photograph of bare trees in hazy, shifting light. where does she see parallels between herself and the romantic painter born more than 220 years before her as well as the so i think many, ah, she's story and see it very differently that for me, his pictures a sent to about this new to slice, and this experience that you have when you were alone and to throw them back calling yourselves guns also serves the look of boston road. a sensitivity for light and shadow, for the feeling of being alone. for the mood. this is what she shares with swedish

them at that moment when the sun comes over the horizon. and when i see the shadows moving on, the wall, i'm seeing the turning. and i become aware of how i sit on this and how small i am and how big the world is. this is, it seems that i see. and frederick's painting see this and then come in from the house, the adobe suite, the nation, a painter for the present day. the last generation climate movement even sees him as an accomplice, fighting for the same things, for the salvation of the world. they want to emphasize that with this protest action that they want you to believe that customer david sweetheart was just like them. the one question remains why does cost,

but obviously they show people almost exclusively from behind. was he unable or unwilling to paint faces. certainly not, he was a great portrait painter. his perspective from behind was a conscious decision. these are proxy figures of whose bodies we slip into, whose gaze we adopt. they are us. the next, the great thing about freed ration the opportunity to inhabit these figures to find the place within his words. well, we can emphasize with our feelings, the priestly trademark motif has said a trend and been imitated thousands of times even in advertising. and of course, in computer games, the protagonist back is ever present there. the avatars with which we enter the freight. they are us. the slightly here 2024. has made it very clear. the artist is

everywhere. the tier 2, by the way, in the classic movie bandy. and that's no coincidence, because walt disney was also an avowed fan of cast by don each place the the the
